I was trying for Laidley but too southerly apparently and not enough easterly so ended up heading for the RSSF field for the first time. Nice bunch of guys :-). I now have club membership and MAAQ insurance cover so maybe can expand my flying a bit

Had a good couple of hours with the electrics until the wind picked up and the place emptied out and I was flying on my own.

I did manage to pick up some nice thermals with the electric 2M foamy glider so all was good with the world for a while.

Hard to know Stu ... depends on the wind direction. It looks like the tail end of a westerly for Sat, and mostly light south or SSE on the coast on Sunday arvo. I can't think of any obvious good spots for those conditions. If it is late on Sunday there's probably enough SE in it to fly at Point Cartwright near Maroochydore. If it goes more E there are a couple of spots on the range north of Maleny. If you're REALLY adventurous, climb Mt Coolum and fly off the top. (don't fly fragile stuff!)

Righto thanks for that Andrew, I am only "allowed" small and light stuff in "her" new wagon so it will be the Speedo and a Tx just in case somewhere windy and slopey appears.

Got myself a DUCK from Pete {WOWINGS} and I will have it ready (hopefully) for some combat at Bald Knob on this Sunday .My wiesel type glider is getting a flogging.(its like it has a target painted on it.(get the wiesel)Time for some payback AVB when are you getting another combat wing?

Bernd is busting to get out for a fly again and get his German-colours Bee back in the air. Shano is also keen, and we've scheduled to get out to Larrikin tomorrow arvo. It's only forecast to be a light westerly, so we'll reassess in the morning. But fingers crossed there's a miracle and that contrary to the rule of forecasts, it strengthens rather than fades. Hoping for some nice light DS and frontside fun.

It's looking good for DS winds for Friday. I think the forecast has weakened slightly since yesterday but it should still be very good. Fingers crossed. Shane and I are planning to go to Larrikin with Bernd.

What is the most northern slope site you guys can think of? I am in bundaberg and am interested in seeing what sloping is like. Ive got a 2m wing span 1500g e-hawk 2000 which i got for dad as a first plane to learn on. A couple of the saturday morning fliers fly radians and a couple of other gliders but they seem to be mostly thermal gliders. Do you guys know of any groups that fly slope up here? If not what are some tips for looking for a site.

Ps. I am actually in booyal a bit south and towards gin gin. It is fairl hilly (not high) but they all seem really close so no open flat ground
